Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb small potatoes I reccomend Yukon or honey gold
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Cracked black pepper (a few generous cranks)
- 1-2 TBSP avocado oil *See notes
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed Optional
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme Optional
- 1 TBSP chopped fresh parsley, for garnish Optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425º F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set it aside.
- Rinse the potatoes with cold water, then thoroughly pat them dry. Set them on a paper towel to air-dry for about 10-15 minutes (the drier, the better).
- While the potatoes dry, get a small bowl and mix your seasoning blend: 1 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp Herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp paprika, and a few cranks of cracked pepper.
- Cut the potatoes into halves and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle on the seasoning blend, and toss until evenly coated. Transfer them to the parchment-covered baking sheet and spread them out so they aren't touching, ensuring they are all cut-side down.
- Optional: Smash and peel the garlic cloves, then place them on the baking sheet between the potatoes, and nestle fresh thyme sprigs among the potatoes as well.
- Put the potatoes into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Don't open the oven to shake or toss the potatoes; just let them cook, undisturbed.
- After 30 minutes, the potatoes should be golden-crisp on the outside and fork-tender inside!
- Place the potatoes into a serving bowl, garnish them with chopped fresh parsley, and serve.
Notes
Avocado oil has a high smoke point and neutral flavor, which makes it ideal for this recipe. Algae cooking oil and light refined olive oil also work, along with refined peanut oil, grapeseed oil, or canola oil.
